night light

Night starts to fall
catch it with its falling stars
reach out your arms and
break the silence with your heart

It's okay to fear
something so uncertain
let your faith guide you
through the veil of this curtain

Light shines through the window
like a spot light, all night
keep it coming to help me see
see the me I'm meant to be

When I'm with you
my walls fall down
and it only happens when you're around

When I can't speak
you read my eyes
and I can't hide when
you bring me to light

Like a spark in the dark
brightens up the room
so does my heart
every time I see you

So hold me close
and kiss me tonight
and give me an overdose
of your night light

where I stand

struggles are key to how we survive

to stand up we need to know

what falling is like

when i say i'm fine you know the truth

sitting next to me nothing gets past you

you studied my face and like my quirks

and you weren't afraid of saying it first

giving up is as useless as the P in psychic

trying to predict the worst from these feelings to hide it

i can't sleep when i think of where all of this can go

it's never been so hard for me to let this show

i drown in your eyes when you look at me

i didn't want to know how easy it could be

sometimes complications are the easy way out

until we're brave enough to say it out loud

i climb out of fear to reach the sky

energy spent well knowing i tried

i look down below just to see where i am

it's such a long way but you're where i stand

Always, Lainey
